Highlights
The M/V Hondius Cruise Ship was built in 2019 to meet the standards for ice-strengthened vessels and the dedicated criteria for environmental friendliness as outlined in the Polar Code. This Polar Class 6 vessel accommodates 170 passengers in 83 cabins, divided into grand and junior suites, as well as superior, deluxe, window, and porthole cabins. The cabins are painted with biodegradable paint and feature steam heating, LED lighting, and ample storage space. Varied performances, workshops, presentations, and exhibitions are open to participation in the lecture room and the observation lounge. The panoramic windows in the observation lounge, the stocked bar, and nourishing meals for diverse appetites are a sample of what is available to enjoy throughout the trip.
Aboard the M/V Hondius, the itineraries are structured to meet the needs of first-time explorers who want to learn and rediscover the stars without light pollution, as well as interact with various albatrosses and penguins. The Hondius also caters to the needs of the adrenaline-chasers who want to go camping, mountaineering, hiking, and kayaking. The fleet of zodiacs ensures a safe and speedy arrival on-shore and the return to uncompromising comfort aboard the Hondius. Every itinerary offers many activities, whether whale-watching at a moment’s notice or the observation of at least six different species of penguins up close while cruising through the Falkland Islands, South Georgia, and the Antarctic Peninsula.

Amazing!!
The landing at the Continental Antarctica site. The penguins and icebergs. It might have been one of the best staffing situations I've ever encountered. The staff that went out on 13th of December was nice literally all the way to Buenos Aires. Thanks very much !!!!
